Trusted by
medical professionals

Hibiclens has been trusted by hospitals and healthcare professionals for more than 40 years. The 4% chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) solution for skin cleansing and antisepsis is used within acute care and post-acute care facilities for caregiver hand washing as well as extensively for patient hand hygiene.

Strong clinical evidence supports Hibiclens efficacy. Unlike regular soaps, Hibiclens not only begins killing germs immediately, it bonds with the skin and keeps on killing microorganisms, even after washing, to provide extended protection against a wide range of bacteria.

Proven to be gentle enough for daily use,2 Hibiclens washes away cleanly, leaving a layer of protection without any sticky residue.

As simple and easy to use as any liquid soap,3 Hibiclens has been proven to be an effective skin cleansing option1 – in addition to binding to the skin and leaving a layer of protection (without any sticky residue).

Hibiclens is:

  • Fast-acting – begins to kill germs on contact4
  • Persistent
  • Proven to significantly reduce bacteria that cause disease
  • Gentle enough for daily use2
